The gut microbiome refers to the totality of microorganisms that colonize the human gut. It consists of a wide variety of different bacterial species, the composition of which can vary from person to person.
Modern microbiome research examines how lifestyle, diet, and other environmental factors affect bacterial diversity in the gut. The Basic Gut Microbiome Test provides a detailed analysis of selected microbial characteristics and offers an overview of the individual composition of the gut microbiome.
Modern molecular genetic analysis
The test is based on modern molecular genetic sequencing technology. This makes it possible to detect significantly more bacterial species than with traditional culture-based testing methods.
The analysis allows for a nuanced examination of bacterial diversity and provides information about the composition of the microbiome under study.
The analysis covers
- Determination of Microbial Diversity (Species Diversity)
- Analysis of the Composition of the Gut Microbiome
- Determination of the enterotype
- Presentation of the relative abundance of selected bacterial groups
- Determination of the Firmicutes/Bacteroidetes ratio
- Assessment of selected mucosa-associated bacterial groups
- Overview of microbiological parameters related to the gut microbiome
Who might be interested in this test?
- Health-conscious individuals
- People interested in gut health and nutrition
- People who want to learn more about their individual microbiome
- Users who want to track changes in their microbiome over time
What do the results indicate?
The lab report provides an overview of the composition of the gut microbiome being examined, as well as selected microbiological metrics.
The analysis is intended to provide information about an individual’s microbiome composition and is not a substitute for a medical diagnosis or treatment.
